We meet at the Ballpark in Gillies Bay at 10:00am.
Last Saturday was quite a dull day, overcast, but with no rain during the hike. We drove down past Davie Bay and turned up the hill past Stromberg Falls and parked under the power lines at the small gravel pit. It's a steady climb up the gravel road which only eases after a while at the turn of on the left onto a very pleasant grassy logging road. We found Stromberg Creek was flooding across the road not far along, but not badly enough to prevent us crossing and we resumed the steady uphill climb. We knew the side trail we were to take was overgrown to such an extent that two past attempts to find the original route had failed, but with saw and pruners we managed to make it through this time and reached the branch logging road that runs down from Thompson Road. This ended at a small creek on the edge of a hillside clearcut and we soon found a knoll with patches of white reindeer moss that was a nice place to have lunch.
